    What is the journal entry for $ conversion?is it realized/unrealized?
    We are having transactions in accouts receivable, we have collections in dollar, and we are using peso in our books. At the end of the month, all transactions in dollar, will be used in the average rate. Thus, we have to compute the realized/unrealized gain/loss.
    I want to be very sure if what entry to used,is it realized / unrealized?
